The Museo delle Antichità Egizie is the only museum other than the Cairo Museum that is dedicated solely to Egyptian art and culture. Many international scholars, since the decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphs Jean-François Champollion, who came to Turin in 1824, spend much time pouring over the collections. It was Champollion who famously wrote, “The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin”.The collections that make up today’s Museum, were enlarged by the excavations conducted in Egypt by the Museum’s archaeological mission between 1900 and 1935 (a period when finds were divided between the excavators and Egypt).The Egyptian Museum in Turin has begun 2009 an important project which wants to widen spaces in order to enhance the collections through modern museographical and museological criteria. The Museum will be open all over the period of restoration and the New Egyptian Museum inauguration is scheduled for the year 2015.

The museum is a must-see! It has a brilliant collection which is very well exposed with interactive possibilities for children and audio guides included in the entrance ticket price. It is best to pre-book to avoid queues.

A place well worth visiting.
It doesn’t top the museum in Cairo but it’s definitely good, slightly confusing how it’s laid out. Spotlessly clean. The artefacts couldn’t have been presented any better than they were.
Definitely glad I went.

The museum has a great collection and they give you a headphone guide but the rudeness and lack of attention from guides, guards and museum staff makes it really unpleasant. Moreover, the high attendance and the innumerable groups invading all the space do not help...More

We went there late afternoon and got into the museum for a late-comers' fee of 5 Euro each adult. Even with a rush-through with three young children we were educated with the most impressive display of artifacts and their attendant explanations and captions. Ancient Egypt...More

This museum was amazing! We decided against the tour and just walked through the museum at our own pace. Headsets provided for further detail on many artifacts. We bought our tickets online through the muesums website. No standing in line. Would recommend to go early...More
